I'm getting ready to wire a kitchen remodel and I'm questioning the owners choice of recessed lights. They are LED, 12 Watts with a light output similar to an 80 watt halogen. They fit in "most" 6" recess housings. The unit is a bulb and trim together and it screws into the medium base bulb holder. The site has links that shows compatible housings and some other instructions but the links don't work.

I'm wondering about the following issues:
In choosing a lamp and trim for a given housing don't I have to use what is listed in the instructions? I'm sure I won't find the LED bulb/trim from another manufacturer listed. I assume the inspector could reject the product at the final inspection.
If the unit screws into the housing socket it would seem dificult to get enough tension to have the unit sit flush with the ceiling. If that is true it will look lousy. Retention clips are mentioned in another nonworking link.
Anybody have any experience with the product? Anybody see any other issues?
